Getting rid of junk files using CCleaner

As many owners may testify, over time, computers will show performance and handling issues, becoming sluggish and slow to respond. One of the main culprit of computers' slowdown may be the accumulation of junk files (downloaded program files, temporary Internet files and others) on your disk. The good news is that all Windows based computers come with a built-in utility program that can do the job of keeping your disk cleaned and free for more space. For people who know something about that function and how to use it, that may be all they need to keep their machines running smoothly.
But the true of the matter is that the Windows built-in cleaning program does not touch certain files who may built up considerably over time and start to be of an issue.
Fortunately, there are some programs designed to do the job that Windows utility program would not do, and some of them like CCleaner utility cleaning software by Piriform.com, are free to use. Although the doftware is free for anyone to use, a donation is welcomed to help support it and people who choose to do so, will receive a priority update every time one is available and before it is for the general public. Wikipedia has more information concerning CCleaner for people wanting to learn more.
According to pcworld which reviewed it, "CCleaner searches through a number of programs and removes useless files. It's highly configurable, allowing you to select which problems to look for and which items to ignore."
And while many file cleaners just scrub your browser cache or your temporary file folder, CCleaner is credited by pcworld to go further by cleaning temporary files from common third-party applications like Adobe, Firefox, Google toolbar, Norton anti-virus, to name a few.
